Improving health and wellbeing through exercise and physical activity is increasingly important in today’s sedentary world. This program aims to introduce students to methods used in exercise science to assess health status, provide basic exercise delivery, and understand the beneficial effect on human physiology. The program also introduces students to key skill areas in exercise and sport science including biomechanics, exercise physiology, basic data analysis, and technology in sport. It is a pathway to university study in the field of exercise and sports science at The University of Notre Dame, Australia and develops the necessary tertiary skills to succeed.

An introductory sports course designed by industry professionals. You’ll cover topics in health and exercise related to human bodies and wellbeing. Build key skills in sports science, including using data and technology for better outcomes.

Legal History

Fundamentals of Exercise Programming

Health and Exercise Performance Testing

Functional Exercise Anatomy Application

This subject is designed to provide an introduction to the area of linear algebra. The subject introduces vectors and vector spaces covering addition of vectors, scalar multiplication and the geometric meaning of vectors. The theory of matrices is also developed and includes matrix addition and multiplication, inverse matrices, determinants and the use of Gaussian elimination to solve systems of equations. Matrix theory is also applied to the study of linear transformations.

This subject introduces students to Calculus, a fundamental area of mathematics involved in studying the behaviour of single variable functions. The subject covers limits, differentiation, integration and the applications of calculus, including maximising and minimising functions.

Learn calculus fundamentals. This subject uses maths to calculate how things behave and change. You'll unpack the concept of limits then venture into differentiation. Calculate areas. Explore rates of change. Get to know this powerful mathematical tool.

This subject will examine the human anatomy and function of the musculoskeletal system and other body physiology systems including, nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems in the support of life and movement. Students will also understand how the anatomical and physiological characteristics and features within each system respond and adapt to exercise and physical activity for healthy individuals.

Keep people healthy and moving. You’ll get to know body parts and systems, and explore how they respond to ageing, injury and illness. Focus on muscles and bones. Unpack the benefit of exercise and health treatments.

This subject introduces students to a critical understanding of the institutions and practices that are basic to the law in Australia. This subject provides a foundation for later courses, both in its content and its method of teaching, within the context of legal problem solving. Students will be encouraged to reflect critically on aspects of the legal system, which includes an introduction to the historical and philosophical sources of such elements as the adversarial system, the structure of courts and tribunals and the roles of lawyers and judges. This subject also introduces students to the key principles of, and approaches to, statutory interpretation, which is an essential legal skill.

This subject will enable students to develop knowledge of the battery of anthropometric and physical tests available for human performance assessment, as well as performing health risk screening and appraisal techniques specific to exercise programmes for healthy individuals. These include measures of strength, endurance, sub maximal and maximal fitness testing and athlete profiling. Students will be able to identify which assessments are required for individuals with different exercise goals in the promotion of health and fitness.

Principles of Mathematics covers the important basic concepts in algebra and trigonometry that a tertiary student is expected to master to undertake advanced mathematical concepts at upper level mathematics courses at the University of Notre Dame. The subject is designed to further the knowledge of students in the fields of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithm and trigonometric functions. The student is also expected to understand and apply trigonometric identities and functions to solve practical mathematical problems. The subject also covers analytical geometry and topics in matrices, sequences and systems of linear equations. Overall the subject provides a strong grounding in algebra and trigonometry at a tertiary level for further advanced mathematical studies. This subject is an essential part of the mathematics program and is specifically designed in consultation with education providers to meet the needs of teacher training for Education students.

This subject is designed to further the knowledge of students on number analysis, using statistical measures and using tools to visualise numbers and patterns such as using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It provides a broad introduction to statistical practice and data analysis techniques. It aims to equip students with a basic understanding of statistics, such that they are able to employ appropriate methods of analysis in various circumstances. The techniques learnt are widely used in the sciences, social sciences, business areas and many other fields of study. This subject is an essential part of the mathematics program and is specifically designed in consultation with education providers to meet the needs of teacher training for Education students.

This subject provides an introduction to criminal offences and criminal procedure. While the focus will be on the relevant State jurisdiction, aspects of Federal criminal law will also be introduced. The subject will predominantly deal with matters that need to be proved to successfully prosecute major criminal offence.

Criminal Law A

The aim of this subject is to give the student an appreciation of the sources and development of the common law, equity and our legal institutions. The way in which the law has developed as society has changed and has adapted to differing demands and circumstances provides the key to a proper understanding of the law in its modern environment. It will trace the development of legal ideas and disciplines from English history around 1066 to modern day Australia. Historical development of the law will be examined through such topics as the on-going relationship between the common law and equity, the contribution of Christianity in general to the development of the law and the legal aspects of British settlement of Australia, Legal History gives us an insight into how and why our legal system today is what it is. It gives us the opportunity to trace our origins and developments to obtain a better understanding of what the legal profession is and how we are a part of it.

Legal Research and Writing is an introductory core skills subject for Law. Students will learn how to solve legal problems and approach law assignments; how to find, interpret and use primary and secondary sources; how to distinguish credible from non-credible sources; how to communicate clearly and persuasively in academic and professional contexts; and how to reference appropriately. Students will also learn generic study skills applicable outside of a Law course

Writing and research skills for your law degree and beyond. You’ll learn how to find and use reliable sources of information. Communicate clearly and reference appropriately. These are important skills for academic and professional success.
